I didn't want it to end, but I finished the Last of Us. I already know it's going to be one of those games I remember fondly years down the line. The story and relationship between Joel and Ellie were so well done that it felt like I was immersed in this epic movie or book, and that's something I never really felt in a game before.

I'm putting it down and probably won't pick it back up for a while, at least until the DLC comes out... it was a fantastic experience and I want to let it marinate.

I don't know about anyone else, but I felt the story took it to another level after Joel landed on that rebar and you didn't know if he was gonna make it. Next thing you know it's winter and you're playing as Ellie hunting for food, I loved how that whole chapter played out. Easily my favorite stretch of the game. I didn't trust David the second I laid eyes on him.

Yeah, playing as Ellie was highlight of the game for me. I loved that whole chapter jumping back and forth between Joel and Ellie was amazing.

I'm not going to lie I teared up when Joel finally found Ellie. When she was stabbing David over and over and Joel stops her. The look in her eyes when she looked up at Joel killed me. She pretty much became Joel's kid at that moment.

Ashley Johnson's performance as Ellie was just incredible. The whole cast was pretty amazing but she stole the show.

I also finished the game today. I milked it for as long as possible but I hate to finish. Probably my favorite game from this gen and one of my favorite games ever. I nearly teared up many times, there was nothing that I felt didn't work. This game is art.

The transition from serious in 1 to bat **** crazy in 3 is extreme. I played the series backwards starting with 3 and it's my favorite. It's getting too ridiculous in 4 with the president having super powers and you're fighting aliens but I'll play it because I've played all the other ones. Beating a nun to death with a giant dildo bat while being naked is in my top 5 video game experiences.

They did that because the game was just dogshit compared to GTA. They were smart to go in a different direction.

yea, it was also pretty cool how that episode spilled over to the next scene. When they're outside Salt Lake City, it opens with her starring at the engraving of a deer (how winter started) and she's clearly distraught in the beginning of the chapter. Subtle things like when you press triangle to toss her up on the ledge and she doesn't come is what makes Naughty Dog such a cool developer. Joel's looking around like WTF?... Oh, she's checked out sitting on the bench over there.

Then the Giraffe scene was icing on the cake. Another wrinkle ND didnt have to put in, but it made for a pretty special moment between Joel and Ellie.

Also, who else pumped those surgeons full of lead inside the operating room lol? i didnt even hesitate lol. Joel was such an animal at that point, it didn't seem to even matter. I had 2 goals in the hospital, save Ellie and kill everything that moved.

Yeah, the Giraffe scene was epic. I actually just stood there for a few minutes and took it in. It's funny that when Joel walked away he kinda hesitated before opening the door. He didn't want that moment too end for her and I felt the same way.
